Imagine your office has a filing cabinet where all sensitive documents are stored. You have a security guard who checks what goes in and out to ensure nothing confidential is accidentally taken out or shared with the wrong people. This is similar to what Microsoft Purview's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) does for your digital data.

In the digital world, data isn't just stored in one place. It's spread across various platforms and databases, much like how you might have documents in different filing cabinets or storage rooms. Microsoft Purview's DLP is like having a security guard for each of these storage areas, ensuring that sensitive information is protected no matter where it's kept.

Now, Microsoft is expanding this protection to include Fabric lakehouses, which are like large digital storage rooms for data. Just as you would want to know if someone is trying to take a sensitive document out of a storage room, DLP policies can now audit and notify users if sensitive content is accessed or shared inappropriately in these digital spaces.

Additionally, this protection is extending to other types of databases, such as KQL and mirrored databases. Mirrored databases are like having a backup copy of your filing cabinet in another location. These include various types of databases like Azure Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL, and SQL databases. The DLP policies will help ensure that even these backup copies are monitored for unauthorized access or sharing of sensitive information.

In essence, Microsoft Purview's DLP is enhancing its reach to cover more areas where your digital data might reside, ensuring that no matter where your sensitive information is stored, it remains secure and monitored.
